once i began i saw that what i really wanted to do is make a pinterest collection. so i did. in my inspiration book. because as keen as i am on pinterest i can’t pick it up and thumb through it to see everything i’ve gathered together. can i?
it’s saturday. i’m living in the middle of a crazy beautiful mess of paper with birds flying back and forth. mmmmmm.
see that blue bird knickknack? mama moss gave that to me last time i was in kansas. i wrapped it in a sock and carried it home in my purse. it lived in every one of my childhood homes as far back as i can remember. now it’s on my kitchen sill. usually i face him out so he can look out the window.

Your post inspires me to go back to updating my idea books. I use ones from Borders that have the peel back clear pages that are ‘magnetic’ They haven’t seemed to ruin anything. My only downfall is that I haven’t divided them up into subjects so the 1/2 clothes, jewelry are mixed in with house ideas and fabrics. I think of pininterst as a sort of holding area for cute things and things I might buy.
Mary Ann,
Just posted some some of my Inspiration Books on my (postal and mail art blog. Gave you a shout-out on there too.

Nicole, your hone decor journal pages are BEAUTIFUL. Thanks for sharing.
So funny I am reading your post as the bird farm outside is singing the sun to bed. The mockingbird parents are too-tootling, and the chick is still peeping, some scwark scwark scwark when my fat killer cat ploops down and looks skyward. My neighbors’ chickens are chuckling and the turkeys are goo-goo gobbling (yes, turkeys, I named the white one Christmas and the brown one Thanksgiving…they were not amused). Loving your stash/smash/cram collection book. Your little blue bird is too sweet, and it doesn’t look glued together — is it?. Unfortunately, nothing breakable remains from my childhood except my heart (but I glued it together again).
Hey here is the story of that blue bird… we bought it for mom for mothers day when we were living in South Carolina. We got it at Browns. Remember the place where we used to walk to get banana flips? I think it cost around $2.00. That was a lot of money when you only got a quarter a week for allowance. I’m pretty sure you and I and Dottie all pooled our resources to get it.
